Video Metadata Inspector: read duration, resolution and bitrate
The video metadata inspector reads the technical data stored in a video file and presents it clearly. This includes playback duration, resolution in pixels, bitrate, format and whether an audio track is present.
Which data is shown?
- File info: filename, file size and video format (MP4, WebM, Ogg).
- Playback: duration and resolution in pixels.
- Bitrate: the average bitrate of the video file in kilobits per second.
- Audio: whether an audio track is present or not.
Analysis runs entirely in your browser. The video file is not sent to any server and is never stored. The bitrate is calculated from file size divided by duration and is therefore an approximation.
Important note: These values are read directly from the video container. The actual quality and codec details may differ from what is displayed. Only process videos for which you hold the rights. All data stays on your device.
Frequently asked questions
What are video metadata?
Video metadata are technical information stored in a video file. This includes duration, resolution, bitrate and whether an audio track exists. These details help you assess the format and quality of a video before playing it.
Are my videos uploaded?
No. All metadata is read entirely in your browser. The video file never leaves your device and is never stored.
Why does the tool show no bitrate?
The bitrate is calculated from file size divided by duration. For very short clips or files with uncommon containers, this calculation may be inaccurate or missing.
Which video formats are supported?
All formats your browser can play with the
Can I check metadata offline?
Yes, the entire analysis happens without an internet connection. Only the library loaded when you first visit the site is needed.
What does "Audio" mean in the metadata?
This indicates whether the video file contains an audio track. Some video files, such as pure image sequences or screenshots saved as video, have no sound.
